Tasting notes
Intriguing aromas of walnut, shiitake mushroom and dark fruits follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins and a bright finish. A vivid and silky mouthfeel. Long finish. Drink or hold.

A beautifully elegant, stylish Cabernet Sauvignon from the Antinori outpost in Napa Valley, their 2013 has a dense ruby/purple color, a beautiful, sweet kiss of pure blackcurrant fruit, licorice and forest floor. Full-bodied, but with creamy texture, sweet, beautifully integrated acidity, tannin and alcohol, this is an impressively well-crafted wine that’s drinkable now, but should evolve nicely for another 15-20 years.
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, fleshy and voluptuous. Mocha, espresso, toasty new oak and crème de cassis are pushed forward in a super-ripe, voluptuous wine built to deliver considerable near term pleasure. Drink this racy, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon over the next decade.
